1-34672321 - The reporter, a pet owner, indicated that her dog was exposed to a spot-on insecticide containing the active ingredients methoprene and permethrin and her cat was exposed to a different spot-on insecticide containing the active ingredient methoprene. The reporter indicated that she applied the dog spot-on product to her 7 year old, male teacup Yorkie (Subform III #1) about one month prior to initial contact with the registrant and she applied the same product again three days prior to initial contact. The reporter indicated that her teacup Yorkie has been suffering from generalized hair loss for the past month. The reporter was advised that there were numerous possible causes for hair loss in her dog and generalized hair loss is not consistent with exposure to the product. Veterinary care was recommended to determine an underlying cause and appropriate treatment. The reporter applied the cat spot-on product to her 2 year old, female domestic longhair (Subform III #2) three days prior to initial contact with the registrant. Immediately after the product was applied the cat licked the application site and within 24 hours the cat lost its appetite, was not drinking, was lethargic, had brownish discharge from its eyes and squinted when it was in the light. The reporter was advised that the active ingredient in the cat spot-on product have little to no toxicity in mammals and the described symptoms are not consistent with exposure to the product. Veterinary care was recommended to determine an underlying cause and appropriate treatment. The reporter could not be reached on follow-up. No further information is available.
